Tis passed as they rode on the train.
In the era of civilization, travelers could take out their phones, computers, and entertainnt devices to kill ti on the long journey.
However, in the wasteland, a few hours felt like years without any electronic devices for entertainnt.
Fortunately, only five people were in the carriage to Heaven’s Origin. Thus, it was not as crowded as the carriages in front of them.
After a brief awkwardness, the middle-aged woman and the solo passenger ca over to pass the ti by chatting after learning that Su Mo and Huang Xiaojuan were headed to Hope City.
The identities of the two were revealed after so small talk.
The middle-aged woman nad Huang Qing was not originally a couple on earth with Gong Liang but ford a family together in the wasteland after joining Heaven’s Origin.
The two were rescued from foreign troops during Year 4 of the Doomsday Calendar.
The two had decent eloquence and received an ability rating of Rank C. Therefore, they were fortunate not to have to spend any exchange points after passing the entrance examination to beco part of the Heaven’s Origin family and residents under Precious Fish County.
Subsequently, after two years of accumulating points in the territory, the two worked hard to buy identities as employees of the foreign comrce departnt in Year 6.
Their trip, this ti to Green Fruit Territory, was mainly to examine the benefits and risks of the place.
As for the single passenger, Su Mo was surprised by his na—Chen Yongkang.
According to his words, he was related to Chen Shen, the current mayor of Hope City.
However, they were distant relatives and not very close.
Despite that, his identity seed a little suspicious. Although he claid to be a security guard of Dragon Town in Heaven’s Origin and traveled out to search for his holess relatives during his annual leave, he occasionally averted his eyes and brushed over details on certain aspects.
Su Mo could see that what he was telling them was not the complete truth, or he had a reason to conceal it from them.
“Youzong, after you get to Hope City, your future will be limitless, and you might even beco a prominent figure in a year or two.
“I agree! Hope City’s welfare is incredible. I heard that even an ordinary resident gets a twenty-five-point monthly subsidy, which is enough to ensure a worry-free life.”
“No, no. How would they subsidize unconditionally? The condition is that if your wage is less than that amount, only then will you be eligible for the subsidy. Do you think they will give you money for sleeping and doing nothing?”
“Haha, it’s what everyone has been saying. We haven’t been there before, and we never dared to ask!”
As they got more familiar with each other, the topics they discussed beca more carefree, and they even began to talk about more presumptuous stuff.
They talked about issues related to the territory’s welfare and so rumors they had heard from others.
As a large territory with a permanent population of more than 400,000 people, Su Mo listened attentively to these questions, secretly rembering them in his heart.
“By the way, have you guys heard of this before? It is said that when Hope City was still a village….Almighty Su was the one who gave it the na.”
“Oh, about that. I’ve heard of it before too. So people even say that Almighty Su founded Heaven’s Origin, but he never ca back because of an accident.”
Huang Qing and Chen Yongkang were more gossipy. When they ntioned the topic, Wang Zhuyu, who was standing in the back, could not help herself and sneaked into the carriage to join them.
“Yeah, I know an old resident of the territory. He’s been living in the territory since the beginning of the New World.
“He once told that Almighty Su personally brought them into the territory eight years ago. Unfortunately, Almighty Su left the territory and never returned after a blizzard disaster.
“Moreover, the current territory lord, Su Chan, is Almighty Su’s sister!”
As a train attendant, Wang Zhuyu was much more inford than those in the territory. She said proudly as she watched the astonished expressions of Huang Qing, Gong Liang, Chen Yongkang, and Huang Xiaojuan.
Whether it was rumors or the truth, she felt good every ti she could crush another person who had a higher identity than her with information.
She swept across the four passenger’s faces with satisfaction. Unexpectedly, the pride in her heart was slightly diminished after she glanced at Su Mo’s face.
On his face, she could not see the slightest surprise at learning shocking information, nor did he show interest in details about Almighty Su.
Instead, she sensed an indescribable abnormality in him.
It felt as if…
“Mr. Su, could it be possible that you have more detailed information about Almighty Su?”
Wang Zhuyu’s voice sounded with a sweet smile. Imdiately, everyone’s gaze fixated on Su Mo.
The story of Almighty Su had been passed down in the wasteland for a long ti and he beca a milestone figure for humans.
Although it had been eight years since his disappearance, he remained a hot topic among people until now.
‘Could it be that Su Youzong really has news of Almighty Su?’
Everyone opened their eyes wide and waited eagerly for an answer after suddenly rembering that the two of them had the sa last na.
Before Su Mo could say anything, the train stopped abruptly, and gunshots erupted in the carriage in front of them.
“Are there enemies?”
Everyone knew they were current in the wasteland and not on peaceful Earth.
As soon as the gunshots sounded, Chen Youkang rolled to the floor and hid under a chair, pulling out the pistol around his waist.
Huang Qing and Gong Liang were vigilant. They quickly rushed to a seat in the back row and pushed down the seats over them as simple protection.
anwhile, Wang Zhuyu showed no signs of fear.
After the gunshots broke out, she directly strode to the source of the sound. It was evident that she had received special training before.
“Youzong, should we hide?”
Huang Xiaojuan was a little overwheld since this was the first ti she encountered such a situation. Fortunately, Oreo lying beside her remained unfaltering, which brought her a little sense of security.
“Sit down first. I’ll go take a look.”
“Rember to stay with Or…stay with Yuan Bao. Wherever she goes, you follow her!”
The sudden gunshots saved Su Mo from the interrogation.
After recognizing that the sound ca from a potent revolver, Su Mo frowned, stood up, and followed Wang Zhuyu to the carriage where the gunshots ca.
Humans and foreign races jointly protected the wasteland railways. Thus, robbing the trains was equivalent to declaring war against both races simultaneously.
